Watch until the end or fast forward to the end before stopping, please. Curious on your thoughts.

Ken, I’m assuming you are referring to the stop action photography. That was neat. It reminds me of watching Gumby or other stop action photography back in the ‘60s! 😊👍🏻
I agree, Mark, reminds me of Gumby too.
KEN, I noticed quite a bit of car wobble going through the switches on the inner loop. I hadn’t noticed that in previous videos. Could be the camera locations make it more noticeable.
@Mark Boyce yes! I will be doing more of it. Not photography, actual video, several techniques. That was my 1st rushed shot at it. But seems to look cool. There is one technique that I will try in coming days. Trying to engage audiences differently. No one as far as I can tell is doing this. I have a lot of people on my layout...let's get them moving!
@DoubleDAZ they wobble everywhere, as they are cheap Menards autoracks. I plan to investigate how to open them to add weight. Although my wife is right, in real life videos we watch all the time, many do the same thing. Sometimes though I think they look like toys. But we went back and watched a few videos last night and yes they rock quite a bit in real life look like toys too, sometimes....lol. But I will see if I can get inside them and add weight. They are the only autoracks that fit my layout. AtlasO and Lionel are too big. Great price on Menards too!
@DoubleDAZ I actually found the solution on YouTube!!!
The process :https://youtu.be/1BWvrBEXhEQ?si=4wyKIz_DGB5p8fyw
The tools I used, slightly different than Mark's video. My wife had button application tools, so I used them and typically use these tools for taken on/off trucks.

That’s great, Ken. And you are right, we see trains all the time and cars do wobble, I just hadn’t noticed it that much in your other vids.
@DoubleDAZ this video is 1st with a ton of them running on both lines. That is why more noticeable. I did all 9 this afternoon, they should be good to go. A couple still have very slight wobble, probably from track. I ran them at slow, med, and fast, theu look great now. It is not perfectly flat track, just like real life, lol! - Most issue is inside track, outside is flat.
Ken, that was great results to your first try at stop action.
Ken, I love it! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
Mike
